Inktober 16th to 19th portraits key light style by niko3d

Howdy all

Had a busy week so as usual I'm playing catch-up with my inktober posts.
Heres my Inktober 16th to 19th drawings :)

I went fine arts styley with 5 random portraits below.
The two bigger portraits are very loosely based on multiple references.
With the bottom two profile portraits and the top right are closer to the original reference.

References included James Franco (top right) and Bill Bailey (mid right), the rest I didn't recognize.

Here's a timelapse of my inktober.

You will notice that I started this with random ink marks looking for inspiration for portraits. I then began to flesh out some shapes, finally moving to light use of various reference photos and finally ending with more photo reference driven portrait.

I also did some random silly Sketches, including Ghost super Mario but not worth posting 😂 and a light and ink experiment with colourful/dark markers. You can see how the darker ink blocks the light well, while the colours shine when the you have a light source behind the paper.

Thanks for viewing.
Cheers
